Doing its best to replicate that feeling of having a drink with your friends after you've just watched a movie, this is the podcast where Film fanatic friends, and sometimes special guests, watch and review movies that don‘t have sequels (yet), then have a competition pitching their ideas for sequels and arguing whose should win! read less

SPecial Announcement! We're taking a bit of a break

SPecial Announcement! We're taking a bit of a break
Hi everyone! We're putting this out on the feed for any of you that might miss it on social media.So, we’ve been going on for over 2 years, 61 mainline episodes and a bunch of bonus episodes too, and we have loved every minute of it. We’ve had some great fun arguing and coming up with some crazy pitches from Oompa loompas to Dominic Toretto punching asteroids heading to earth.After the new year we planned to do a soft reboot of the show to focus on the competition element and to shorten our review section and give our patrons something special to listen to. We're very pleased with the shape of things, but it's not all been plain sailing over here.A peak behind the curtain here pitch pals. We do this podcast for fun now of course we have a patreon and we are hugely grateful to anyone who subscribes, but we all have boring day jobs and other commitments that we have to balance as well. Something we have been overlooking is our own mental health. We have been pushing on sometimes ignoring the warning signs in our own bodies and minds. We can sometimes overlook men's mental health, and we four definitely aren't immune to that. But it has got to a point in which we need to listen. So after listening, we have made the call to put Sequel Pitch on hold, just for a couple of months.We love our show, and we love what we do, so we are going to rest, recharge, and come back better than ever before! It also gives us this precious time to spend with family, but also work on the podcast like we had wanted to! We love you and all your support you give the podcast. As always, if you know someone you think would have fun with the show we've got over 60 episodes for everyone to listen to! Also, we're still going to put out any SPoilercast we can get off the ground in the meantime, AND we will be back with a very special episode on April 18th with the return of Videogame director Mike Bithell (who is currently hard at work on Tron Identity for Disney, oooooooo), pitching our sequels to the 1993 Mario Brothers movie!So for now it’s goodbye, but we'll be back on April 18th

Halloween Kills (2021) - Reviews and Sequel Pitches, with special guest Kat Hughes!
The meeting of minds is back! This week, Ross is hosting his own head to head episode against Andy, with guest judging duties from returning horror maestro Kat Hughes! And of course, it wouldn't be a halloween month episode with doing an episode on HALLOWEEN! And seeing as Halloween Ends is out on the day of release, we thought it would be rude not to be pitching our own versions, so we've reviewed and are pitching our sequels to the 2021 horror sequelboot sequel to 2018's Halloween, Halloween Kills! Directed by David Gordon Green and written by Green along with, Danny McBride, Paul Brad Logan, and Chris Bernier. And of course, starring the absolute legendary scream queen herself, Jamie Lee Curtis.Expect just... insanity. Really. It's mad. So much death. Crikey.I have been writing about movies for the last eight years, mainly writing for the entertainment website THN. Although happy to cover a range of projects and genres my heart lies with the horror genre, with FrightFest being a highlight of her calendar year. Growing up film was an integral part of my life, and as a child, I watched Labyrinth, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day and Aliens on repeat. This passion for movies led me to study Media Production at The University of Lincoln where I produced several short films on very limited student budgets. My career has seen me transition from Blockbusters and Cineworld, to time working for both Lionsgate and eOne. Having had a child in 2018, I am now committed to focusing on writing full-time. @GizmoShikari on Twitter Kat's Website Links!Patreon: If you like what we make and want to help us make more, better sounding content, we have a £2 Patreon!Twitter: @SequelPitchInstagram: sequelpitchpodcastFacebook: Sequel PitchIf you're not already, please consider subscribing on your podcast app of choice so that you get our episodes as soon as they land.

The Predator (2018) - Reviews and Sequel Pitches!
The meeting of minds is back! This week, Matt is hosting, while Drew and Andy review and pitch sequels for the 2018 Action Sci-Fi franchiser The Predator, directed by Shane Black and starring Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen and Sterling K. Brown.You might have been expecting an episode on Prey, but NO! We're going to go ahead and do the movie that very few people liked rather than the new one that's getting loads of praise, because trying to follow a frustrating movie is WAY more fun than following a good one! Also... Prey sequels are really hard, so we gave up on thatExpect a surprising amount of apology for liking several aspects of this movie, lots of off world shenanigans in the sequel pitches, and unfortunately some connection issues from the host, so apologies if some of this comes off a little disjointed!
